The results of ANOVA of homographic kinetic model illustrated that the linear effect of transmembrane pressure on all model parameters (initial flux (J<sub>0</sub>), steady-state flux (J<sub>∞</sub>), flux decline time constant (I/b) and flux decline extent (a)) and the interaction effects of transmembrane pressure -temperature at a 95% level on the J<sub>0 </sub>and<sub> </sub>I/b were significant. The results of ANOVA of exponential kinetic model also showed that the linear effect of transmembrane pressure had a significant effect on all exponential kinetic model parameters (initial hydraulic resistance (R<sub>0</sub>), steady-state hydraulic resistance (R<sub>∞</sub>) and resistance increment rate (k)) at 95% level. Also, the linear effect of temperature and the interaction effects of transmembrane pressure -temperature at a 95% level on the k parameter were significant.
